What Goes Into a Tower Internals Inspection During a Spring Turnaround

Ensuring that distillation towers and large process columns are ready for peak operating conditions is a key priority every spring. One crucial part of that work is a structured approach to tower internals inspection, where experienced teams assess trays, packing, distributors, and support hardware before they return to service.

Rather than a routine walk-through, an effective turnaround inspection combines detailed inspection planning with safety protocols, access strategy, and technical evaluation of every internal component that affects mass transfer and phase contact. The goal isn’t just to check boxes — it’s to identify risks, prioritize work scopes, and support a smooth, low-risk return to operation.
